Dr. Ben Carson Strikes Back at MSNBC's Toure Neblett: I'm No Uncle Tom
CARSON: Oh, well, there's no question. They feel if that you look a certain way then you have to stay on the plantation. You know I've heard some people refer to me as an Uncle Tom. Well, obviously they don't know what an Uncle Tom is because they need to read Harriet Beecher Stowe’s novel “Uncle Tom's Cabin.” You’ll see that he was very, very subservient, kind of go along to get along type person. Obviously, that's not what I'm doing.
And what the left frequently does, and some aspects of the right, too, is they try to make life so unpleasant for anybody who disagrees with them that people will keep silent. And I know that it's working because so many people come up to me and say, “Thank you, thank you for having the courage to express this. This is the same way I feel.” But most people won't speak up. I'm trying to get people to speak up because, you know, this country is changing into something else, and we need to make sure that we really want it to change into something else and not just end up there and ask ourselves how did we get there.

The sheer hatred in this piece is awful. CLICK. I'll never understand it.
I understand it. This piece you cited is written by some whacked out basement dweller that has to stretch like a rubber band to make herself seem relevant...
Zitat Auset Marian Lewis has been writing and doing art most of her life. She was the first black female columnist for a Gannet newspaper in Wilmington Delaware, has won writing awards, has given political/social commentary on radio and t.v., has performed her poetry in venues from Yale University to homeless shelters in Baltimore, has been guest speaker at many events, and has given workshops on race relations and male/female relationships. Her written work reflects her political, social, and spiritual views. Adolph Hitler said, "What a great advantage for leaders that the people do not think." Auset tries to make them do just that. Her personal blog is "Words for Life."
If you read that Bio closely, she hasn't done a damn thing in her life. BTW, why in the hell are you reading this black radical garbage? Look at what they are writing about...
Zitat Freedom Rider: What Ails the GOP by BAR editor and senior columnist Margaret Kimberley
The Republicans have stripped down their constituency to only “the worst of the worst” Americans: “white supremacists, misogynists and other dead enders.” Obama’s Democrats have absorbed the rest of the GOP, to become the New Republican Party of austerity and war.
